CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,887, dated January2, 1883,

Application filed August 30, 1882. (No model.) H

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ANTHONY R. DILLEHAY, ofClyde, in the county of Cloud and State of Kansa have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Ohurns; and [do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,wlnch will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference beinghad totheaccompanyingdrawings,which form a partof this specification.

This invention relates to that class of churns which rock back and forthto throw the cream from one end to the other, and has for its object toproduce a simple, inexpensive, and efficient device.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device complete.Fig. 2 is an end view. Fig. 3 is a central vertical transverse sectionalview; Fig. 4, a bottom view.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the rocking stand or holder,comprising two parallel side rockers, B B, each having a curved bottomedge, C, and a longitudinal horizontal iztturned top flange, l). Rockers13.13 are connected near their ends by cross-strips E'E, each having ado wnwardly-curved upper supporting-edge, F. On the outside of eachrocker B is centrally arranged an upright tubular 0r cylindrical socket,G.

H is a n-shaped spring-bail, formed ot'a single piece of elasticWire,its ends I I being adapted to be inserted in sockets G G, and to beheld therein by its own tension.

l is the churn proper, which consists of a cylindricalhorizontally-disposed body, J, having closed ends K K, which areprovided with lifting handles or bails L L. Body J is formed with a boxor dome, M, on top, adapted to be closed by a cap or cover, N, and witha faucet or bung-hole, O, in one of its ends, through which thebuttermilk may be poured. The

bottom of body Jis provided with a rectangular downwardly-extendingflange, P, which is adapted to be, inserted between flanges D D andcrosspieces E E of the rocking-stand.

The operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood.The churnbody is first placed on the rocking-stand with its flange, asabove specified, which secures it firmly thereto. The cream is thenfilled in through the dome and the spring-bail inserted in its sockets,when the bail is grasped to rock the device, the cream being therebyreciprocated from one end to the other of the body until the butterforms, when it may be gathered through the dome. The body of the churnis supported on flanges D D and crosspicces E E.

I claim as new- The combination of the rocking stand comprising therockers having the tubular side sockets, and each ro'cker provided witha 'hori- 4 zoutal longitudinal top flange projecting inwardly, theend-stmporting cross-pieces, having the downwardly-curved supporting topedge, the cylindrical churn-body, havinga rectangular vertical bottomflange to fit between the horizontal flange of the rockers and the endpieces, and the removable spring rockingbail, having its ends sprunginto the sockets and retained therein by their own outward tension, asset forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own 1 have hereto affixedmy signature in presence of two witnesses.
